The present invention relates to a 'no glass' subcategory of solar PV panels. A thin (3-10mm), high power density PV crystalline solar cell panel (or module), comprising an assembly of commercially highest efficiency solar PV crystalline cells which are interconnected to form at least one solar cell string, and which are encapsulated without glass, by long-lasting, flexible and clear transparent encapsulating materials. By applying this new method, we can achieve the ability to manufacture solar PV crystalline cell strings that can be supported with a flexible or rigid substrate, or without any substrate. A thin, no glass high power density PV crystalline cell panel made by the application of this invention has the following advantages: rugged and portable, flexible or rigid, lightweight and long-lasting, with highest commercially available PV cell efficiency and consequently highest panel power density. The majority of these thin PV crystalline panel applications are currently of small or mini panel size (<80Wp) but large sized applications such as for electric vehicles are appearing and feasible within this invention. |
